on the first ballot. OF these ave will
come from New Castle. o ve from Ken )
and I've from Sussex. This does not
elect, and one moro vote 10 necessary.
AND that one vote will be forthcoming.
and It Will travel from the south end
OF the State. but every ono Of tho fif
teen votes claimed will he there on
every ballot. IL Ii more than lIhely
that there win be one more vote for
Herbert. thus giving him one moro
vote.
Howland's workers are vigorously a,

Dunn was before the caucus ON the
organization. His success is not very
apparent On the frat ballot he will
receivo five votes In New Oaslle, posi-.
oly three In Kent and three In SUSSEX,
total OF eleven; on the second ballot,
II there should be one no will havetwo
more, and these thirteen votes are The
very highest he will receive, at least
that 10 the situation AZ It appears.
Horsey, Morris and Eey nolc will all
